has been established, the indicator lamp flashes. If the indicator lamp flashes, but you are unable to hear the response center, you can still be heard by the response center.

For technical reasons, the emer- gency call cannot be guaranteed

under the most unfavorable condi- tions.<

Under certain conditions, an emer- gency call is initiated automatically immediately after a severe accident. The automatic emergency call is not affected by the button being pressed.

Roadside Assistance* Press button 2 for at least 2 seconds. With the BMW Assist activated, the cur- rent location of your vehicle will be transmitted in the specific country.

Jump starting

171n

When your battery is discharged you can used two jumper cables to start your vehicle with power from the bat- tery in a second vehicle. You can also use the same method to help start another vehicle. Use only jumper cables with fully-insulated clamp handles.

Preparing 1. Check whether the battery of the

other vehicle has a voltage of 12 Volts and approximately the same capacitance in Ah. This information can be found on the battery

2. Switch off the engine of the support

To avoid the risk of potentially fatal injury, always avoid all con- tact with electrical components while the engine is running. Carefully observe the following instructions to avoid per- sonal injury and/or damage to one or both vehicles.<

vehicle

3. Switch off any electrical systems and

components in both vehicles.

Ensure that no contact exists between the bodywork on the two vehicles, otherwise there is a danger of short circuits.<

Connecting jumper cables

To avoid personal injury from sparks, always observe this

sequence when connecting jumper cables.<

On your BMW the so-called jump-start connection point in the engine com- partment acts as the battery positive terminal, also refer to the engine com- partment overview on page 149. The cover cap is marked with +. 1. Fold up the cap of the BMW auxiliary

terminal for jump starting, refer to arrow

2. Connect one terminal clamp of the positive/+ jumper cable to the posi- tive terminal of the battery or an aux- iliary terminal for jump starting of the vehicle providing starting assistance 3. Connect the second terminal clamp of the positive/+ jumper cable to the positive terminal of the battery or to an auxiliary terminal for jump starting of the vehicle to be started

172nJump starting

Tow-starting and towing

Starting engine 1. Start the engine on the support vehi- cle and allow it to run for several min- utes at a fast idle

2. Start the engine on the other vehicle

Using tow fitting The screw-in tow fitting is stored beneath the cargo floor cover. Carry it with you at all times. It can be screwed in at the front or rear of the vehicle.

in the usual way. If the first start attempt is not suc- cessful, wait a few minutes before another attempt in order to allow the discharged battery to recharge

3. Let the engines run for a few minutes 4. Disconnect the jumper cables by

reversing the connection sequence.

Depending on the cause of the fault, have the battery recharged by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center.

Never use spray fluids to start the engine.<

To prevent damage to the tow fit- ting and the vehicle, observe the following: only use the tow fitting that comes with the vehicle and screw it in as far as it will go. Use the tow fitting for towing only on the roadway. Avoid lat- eral loading of the tow fitting, e.g. do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting.<

Your BMW is equipped with a special nut on the left side panel as a body ground or negative terminal, refer to arrow in illustration. 4. Attach one end of the negative/–

jumper cable to the negative terminal of the battery or to an engine or body ground of the vehicle providing assistance

5. Connect the second terminal clamp of the negative/– jumper cable to the negative terminal of the battery or to the engine or body ground of the vehicle to be started.

Tow-starting and towing

173n

Access to screw thread Front: Use a screwdriver to press the right or left cover out, refer to arrows.

Rear: Pull the cover off.

Being towed

Make sure that the ignition key is in position 1, otherwise the steer- ing lock could engage and it would not be possible to steer the vehicle. When the engine is stopped, there is no power assist. This requires increased braking and steering effort.<

Switch on the hazard warning flashers depending on the local regulations. If the electrical system fails, mark the vehicle to be towed, e.g. with a sign or warning triangle in the rear window.

Do not exceed a towing speed of 30 mph/50 km/h and a towing dis- tance of 95 miles/150 km, as otherwise the automatic transmission may be damaged.<

Vehicles with manual transmission: Gearshift lever in idle position Vehicles with automatic transmission: Selector lever in N.

Towing methods In some countries, towing with a tow bar or rope on public roads is not per- mitted. Familiarize yourself with all regulations on towing in the respective country. With tow bar:

The towing vehicle may not be lighter than the vehicle to be

towed, as otherwise handling will be uncontrollable.<

The tow fitting of both vehicles should be on the same side. If an angled posi- tion of the bar cannot be avoided, observe the following:

174nTow-starting and towing

> The freedom of movement is

restricted during cornering

> The angled position of the tow bar

creates lateral forces.

Only secure the tow bar on the tow fittings. Otherwise, damage could result on other vehicle compo- nent.<

With tow-rope: When starting off in the towing vehicle, make sure that the tow-rope is taut.

Use nylon ropes or nylon straps for towing, and avoid all too sud- den jerking movements. Only secure tow-ropes on the tow fitting. Otherwise, damage could result on other vehicle component.<

With tow truck:

Do not tow the X5 with the front or rear axle raised individually, as

otherwise the wheels may block and the transfer case may be damaged.<

The X5 may only be transported on a truck bed.

Tow-starting

Do not tow-start vehicles with an automatic transmission.

For information on jump starting, refer to page 171.<

Only tow-start vehicles with a catalytic converter with the engine cold. It is bet- ter to jump start the engine, refer to page 171. 1. Switch on the hazard warning flash-

ers and observe local regulations 2. Turn the ignition key to position 2
3. Engage the 3rd gear 4. Tow-start with the clutch pedal com- pletely depressed and slowly release the clutch pedal. After the engine starts, immediately depress the clutch pedal again completely

5. Stop at a suitable location, remove

the tow bar or rope and switch off the hazard warning flashers

6. Have the vehicle checked.

Do not activate the HDC Hill Descent Control during tow-

starting, refer to page 97.<
